I must say it warms my heart when I see
In the hospital where I work, a little free library..
*
One day I noticed a tiny bookshelf in a corner had been placed
It declared its name and purpose, a handful of books occupied space
With room for many more-for the first few days
Attention to this addition not many people seemed to pay
But as time went on, I noticed books being added and removed
The number and variety of books had also improved
*
Over the past few months I have witnessed
Hospital staff and visitors checking out the library with interest
I have heard people talk about books they are reading
I hope initial expectations the little free library is exceeding
*
Books should be accessible, I firmly believe
From the little free library, anyone is free to retrieve
Any book, read and return, add to the collection too
Such a simple idea, but so profound in what it can do..
Passion...unbridled
